Why am I still seeing the McAfee app when trying to download the BT Virus Protect app powered by Norton on Google Play?
You may be seeing the McAfee app because you’ve got an operating system which is less than version 8.x on your Android device. To get the new BT Virus Protect app powered by Norton your device must have version 8.x and above.
To find and update your Android device to the latest version, follow the below steps:
Find out your current Android operating system version:
• From the Home screen, tap the Settings icon to go to the settings.
• Tap About Phone or About Device.
• Under Android Version, you can find the version of Android that runs on your device.
How to update your Android operating system version:
1. From the Home screen, tap the Settings icon to go to settings.
2. Tap System and then tap System update. If you cannot find System update, you may need to scroll down or tap Advanced.
3. If an Android update is available for your device, tap Install to download and install the update.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Thanks,
Robbie
